Housing availability on both sides of our border is a real drag on middle and lower incomes. A booming economy is a hard sell when a lot of folks spend more than 30% a month just for a roof over their heads. Recreational 2nd homes, air bnb, corporate landlords, building regulations, the cost of logging, and REITs are all major contributors to the supply issue. My $0.02 the economy has a perception issue.
Totally agree no-one in the boardrooms should be making $100 million salary with perks, without paying
decent taxes, nevermind "option" bonuses etc.
They've made enuff off the middle class, and it's hurting those of us, - apparently paying higher
proportional taxes than millionaires!
Making millions and paying $850 in personal tax, and donate it to the country, my ***.
Everytime you read/hear the word "
tariffs", -
Think - "I pay those at the cash register".
Everytime something lands on a receiving dock, there will be a
newtariffs on the bill.
Everytime the cash register rings. There will be
several tariffs accumulated to that item, since it landed on our shore, tariffs that weren't there before.
Think about it . You pay the tariffs, everyone.
"I collected $100 trillion in tariffs from China my *** ! !
We paid that $100 trillion and
wonder why our cost of living is so high . .? ?
The rich will still be widening rivers to get their yachts to the ocean.
Some just want to eat and educate their family.
Others want you to pay for their Caribbean cruises on their yacht. Airfares to exotic "private" estates .
They prob pay less than $1000 income taxes each year as well.
"
Good accountants" save you more than they cost. (They own yachts too).
The rich want to stay rich, and vote that way,
I just want to feed and educate my families,
I vote to Tarrif the crap outta the rich, and leave us reg folk alone, <$400k yr.
